HTML page - a page constructed using HTML elements

Introduction
This is the introductory paragraph, which explains what the article is about. In this case. it is merely padding out some space, so the formatting and layout can be got to grips with. The heading has been set up as Level 3.

Next paragraph
As can be seen in the source, this has been set as Level 4 with four equals signs around it. Whether this is the correct way of doing things remains to be seen, but for the moment, that's the way it is. The information pages about editing suggested that use of the Show preview button at the bottom of the page is a better way of testing rather than constantly saving the page; although this probably doesn't matter too much in the Sandbox, it is probably a good habit to get in to.

Formatting and Layout
The standard defaults, which have been used for the moment, seem to be quite acceptable. The page has been created using the standard editor, rather than the new Visual one, as I though it better to learn to walk rather than try to start running from the off. Having looked at the format, it is very reminiscent of the IBM manuals used so often in the past ! There are also templates available for use, but I think that can also wait until later. At the moment, there doesn't seem to be too much wrong with this one ... whatever it is.

For the future - Hesketh
This could be a good place to start the construction of the Hesketh page. Will need to do a bit of research to see if there is a standard template page for entries, and also to have a look at the WikiProject Golf section of the Wikipedia.

The layout of the page will use the same sort of format as Birkdale and Hillside, as they seem to follow a standard layout. Both have an initial paragraph containing a few lines about location and layout, then things differ: Hillside has a couple more (Notable competitions, Reputation), whereas Birkdale has paragraphs about the Open Championships it holds followed by the scorecard of the championships.

The advantage for Hesketh is that there is a bit of history associated with the Bentley brothers, and the Hitler Trophy, as well as it being the oldest club in the town, so a History paragraph can have a bit of detail. Like Hillside, a Notable competitions paragraph will also have a bit of detail, and there are a couple of past members of note (check for older ones), so we have things to work with.

The working format, then, will be:

Initial paragraph

History

Notable competitions

Past members

Hesketh Golf Club
Hesketh Golf Club is situated on the outskirts of Southport, Lancashire, and in common with other courses in the region, is a links type layout. The proximity of the course to the coastline adds the extra element of the wind to the challenges presented by the course itself.

History
The club was founded in 1885, making it the oldest golf club in the town.

Bentley brothers

'Hitler' trophy

Notable competitions
As well as having served in the past as a qualifying course for the Open Championship, Hesketh hosted the Junior Open Championship in 2008, co-hosted the Amateur Championship in 2011 along with Hillside ''(add others here). ''The club also hosts an annual Festival in August in which visitors can partake in a week of open competitions.

Past members
The earlier-mentioned Bentley brothers are probably the most famous past members of the club, but the list does also include current European Tour members Lee Slattery and Matthew Baldwin.
